Here at Top Notch we use a construction management software to keep you connected to your project from the web, no matter where you are.
Whether you are home or on the road, stay in touch with whichever contractor is on the job. You can track important details such as selections, approvals and more.
Our user friendly tool ensures each of your needs are met during the construction process, creating full transparency and assurances that every service is completed to satisfy your requests.
Hugo Saldanha2024-11-06 I collaborated with Alex Jennings with the electrical department at Top Notch Contracting on a few projects, and it was always a fantastic experience. They were highly professional, communicative, and efficient throughout the entire process. Whether it was coordinating on timelines or addressing technical challenges, Alex was always proactive and solution-oriented. His expertise made a huge difference in ensuring everything was done safely and to code. The projects were completed on time, and his attention to detail was top-notch. I look forward to working together again in the future and highly recommend them for any electrical work! Nicole Lim2024-11-05 Brian and his team did a great job renovating our basement. Their work was very thorough and they completed the project on time. They were also very responsive with our various questions/requests so our experience with them from the moment we reached to the completion of the project was five stars. They also powerwashed our porch and steps after the renovation so the house wouldn't be so dusty. We highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again for our next home improvement project. Brian Mclane2024-10-25 Working with Jay, Moses and the rest of the Top Notch crew, they were able to bring our aging home new life with timeless details and meticulous craftsmanship. They worked well within our budget and timeline and provided ample communication throughout the project, We felt like family and will miss interacting with the crew on a daily basis! Thank you for giving us such a wonderful new home where you can feel the love in every detail. Elizabeth Burke2024-10-20 I would highly recommend Jay Ortiz and Top Notch Contracting to anyone who is looking to do a home renovation. From the very beginning, Jay took the time to understand our design style, family needs, and the end vision of what we wanted for our home. He consistently took the time to educate us about our home, patiently explained each step of the construction process, and had an eye to pay attention to the smallest of details. Every day he showed up with enthusiasm and dedication and treated our project as if it were his own house. In the end, it felt like we had a longtime friend on our side to talk through all of the decisions that needed to be made, however because of his skill set, it was even better than a friend since he was able to hear our wishes, see our vision, and with the utmost professionalism and energy he was able to make it a reality. Thank you, Jay! Matthew DiFrancesco2024-08-13 Moses at Top Notch helped us as we were purchasing a home - he did some pre-purchase inspections for us. There is almost no way we would have purchased our home without the confidence that came with the information he provided us. He came recommended by our realtor and offered helpful advice prior to our home purchase on the vulnerabilities of the properties we were looking at. He gave us the run down of maintenance/projects that the home would need if we purchased and was able to give us ballpark estimates of costs to repair things that were broken or to do renovations that we envisioned in the future (can we tear down this wall to open up the kitchen? is the sunroom structurally sound?). He was very, very thorough and spotted things like missing covers on junction boxes in the basement all the way up to spotting that a garage at one property likely needed to be totally rebuilt due to water damage. Moses and Top Notch would be the first to get a call when we're ready to renovate. We couldn't have navigated our home buying journey the same way without him. Kunal Shah2024-07-23 We decided on Top Notch after meeting with several contractors. Ohannes and Moses’ (owners) willingness to work with us and share ideas before we committed to them, and seeing the quality and scope of their other projects gave us the confidence that they could be trusted partners in our project. Our Project Manager, Mike N.’s kind demeanor made the process easier. He was always available to get answers to our questions, and give advice. He also gave suggestions on construction ideas and materials along the way to ensure we would have the best experience for when we live in the home. The team is detail oriented and has very high standards of quality. They made sure all work was done to perfection and to our satisfaction. They conducted quality checks with Ohannes and Lou frequently through the project, and we certainly appreciate the high quality construction details on a daily basis. As with any big construction project, we faced some hurdles. Top Notch has the ability to take accountability, stay true to their word, and conduct matters fairly. Their “make it right” philosophy is something appreciated very much, and solidified our trust in them. Toward the end of the project Mitch and Brian were also extremely helpful and approachable about anything and made us feel valued. If we had any concerns, Mike, along with Mitch and Brian, listened and would tackle any issue right away. We are so grateful to the team for building our home. Lhais Campos2024-07-18 I hired Top notch recently to get some windows up to code to sell my house. Jay was very professional and was able to come within my time frame. The work was exceptional. I would hire again. Alyssa Guarino2024-07-16 I had an excellent experience working with Alex and Chris Jennings at Top Notch's electrical department! We had many light fixtures to replace and the process from beginning to end was very smooth. Alex was very detailed in not only his work but also the quotation process, ensuring an accurate estimate and no surprises during the completion of the work. Communication was excellent! They also went above and beyond, working in July heat with no A/C and squeezing in a few extra weekend hours to complete the painstaking, detailed work of attaching hundreds of crystals to a chandelier. I look forward to working with them again for future projects! Debra Weinstein2024-06-15 I cannot say enough good things about Moses and his crew at Top Notch. My kitchen renovation was a small job for them but I never felt like it wasn’t important. Their knowledge and perfectionism was amazing. Moses expected nothing but top quality workmanship or it was done over. Any question or concern was addressed quickly and efficiently. They were always there when they said they would be, and I always knew what was happening next. Moses was always so respectful of my time and space. I would trust these guys to do anything and would wait for them to be available to make sure I hired a top quality company. I heard horror stories about other people’s renovations with other contractors and I really got lucky hiring Top Notch. If you want the best, call Moses at Top Notch Contracting. Steve2024-06-08 We did a whole house renovation with Top Notch and the level of service is above and beyond you could imagine. Not only did we want a beautiful home, we wanted a high performance home that'll take on the harsh New England weather and these guys delivered. From planning to execution to maintenance, they were extremely organized, professional, transparent, and detailed as you can get from a high quality developer. They understand building science and embrace the latest technology but still build with fundamentals. The thing that stood out to me most is how Top Notch handled unexpected events with existing conditions of the house and provided clever solutions that could have derailed the whole project. They're problem solvers and extremely efficient. No project comes without issues and ours was no exception but their ability to take accountability and the "make it right" mentality was exceptional. If things don't meet their expectations and quality checks, then they'll rip it out and redo the work. That's unheard of. They're also not complacent. They make it a priority to educate themselves and their staff on becoming better builders. I have not seen anything like this anywhere else. We're so happy we chose Top Notch who in fact was referred from our architect as part of the bid process. We had to pleasure to work with Josh who managed the project from beginning to end. His attention to detail and clear communication to us and his tradesmen made this project a success. He's been responsive to all our questions and requests and really treated like our house like it was his own. In fact, he actually knew more about the house than we did! This wouldn't be complete without mentioning Ohannes, the big dawg at Top Notch who we first met during the bid process. He's supported Josh and the project all the way to the end and ensured project success and we were happy. He's the real deal and built an incredible team and company. Truly a great job everyone! We love our "new" home and everyone we invited can't believe how amazing it looks and feels.

Pouring foundations in the Northeast can be challenging due to extreme temperatures, unpredictable weather, and varying ground conditions. However, with the right preparation, techniques, and precautions, skilled contractors can still get the job done efficiently!
Exciting things are happening at our ADU build! The foundation footers are complete, the walls are officially up, and we`re one step closer to framing!

Exterior Envelope Complete!
In construction, the exterior envelope (or building envelope) is the first line of defense between a building`s interior and the outside elements. It includes the walls, roof, windows, and doors, all working together to provide protection. A well-designed exterior envelope ensures comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term durability for the building.
MEP is center stage!
